Hi - can someone tell me if all Series 3 E-type tool-rolls are the black plastic type roll with Heyco wrenches or is there an early version with a hardura roll and ‘Snail Brand’ or ‘Jaguar’ branded wrenches?
Thanks!

Hello Mike,
Not all S3 cars were supplied with Tool Kits as part of the package; it was contingent on the country of destination. However, its my understanding that the Tool Roll was a small, black plastic roll (much smaller than that supplied with S2 cars) with cloth edging. There was quite a variation of Tire Pressure Gauges supplied over the S3 manufacture period, but the spanners seem to have all been Heyco.
Regards,
Bill

My December 1971 manufactured S3 (UK market) came with a hardura roll, now almost disintegrated! The spanners were Hayco and the tyre gauge the pencil type.

Thanks Bill and @TriQpilot
That’s what I thought as well but there is a drawing I saw in the S3 E-Type parts manual that seems to show 3 Snail and 1 Heyco. Also the S1 XJ12 parts manual (1972-1973) that shows all Snail Brand. Artistic license I suppose.
Interesting @TriQpilot, I’m guessing they used the Hardura version till they ran out?
Thanks,

Hello Mike,
There is a fairly thorough article over three, monthly volumes (September, October, November 2018) of the UK E Type Club Magazine relating to the S3 E Type Tool Kit.

Thanks Craig. Odd that it doesn’t have the V12 spark plug wrench.

I suspect that the 2nd wrench should be 9/16" and 1/2". Makes no sense to have two 7/16" and no 9/16"…
